Among the rarest and most potent Corvettes ever made, this 1969 L88 convertible is set to cross the Mecum Auctions block during Monterey Car Week. One of just 116 built in the final year for the L88, this beast is factory-rated at 430 hp but known to push 550+ with ease.
Key Points
-
Race-Ready Rarity: L88 option mandated heavy-duty suspension, no radio or AC.
-
Final-Year Car: 1969 marked the end of L88 production—this one is finished in Tuxedo Black.
-
Auction Spotlight: Crossing the block August 14–16 at Mecum Monterey.
With its M22 “Rock Crusher” four-speed, redline tires, and legendary 427, this L88 is primed for collector glory. Expect fireworks when it hits the stand.
